THE AMERICAN CIRCLE.

The trouble at the Samoan Islands may
lead to something like definite opinion as
to the extent Of the earth's surface to be in.
cluded in the American circle. The Monroe
doctrine does not exactly define the limits
within which it shall be supreme. The
American continent may mean something
more than the continent proper and some
thing less than the continent and the two
oceans by which it is bounded on the east
and west. The island of Cuba is accepted
as in political sense a part Of the Amer
can continent. The Hawaiian Islands arc
scarcely less clearly included in the Pacific
Coast. How much further west shall we go2
How much further west we need to go to
make our outpos!s secure? Secretary Bayard
- "~sented as saying that we have no es
pecal claim to regulate the affairs OF the
Samoan Islands beyond the obligations to see
that our countrymen on those islands are
fairly treated. If the government OF the
island is generally bad that may be reason
why Americans should keep away from them,
but hardly reason why we should under
take to give them better one. The Monroe
doctrine within reasonable limits will be re-
spected by European nations. They will
recognize the justice and wisdom of the
American demand that European powers
shall not acquire new possessions or establish
protectorates on this continent; but if the
circle thus declared exclusively American is
made too wide the doctrine itself will be
more difficult to enforce. The common sense
of the doctrine is that it shall extend 10 such
islands in the vicinity of the American con.
tinent as may be in a military sense essential
to our security. One construction of the
doctrine would be that no European power ;
should acquire territory which in the event {
Of war would serve as base for operations !
IN either coast against the United States.

The TINES has received a pocket map
of Nevada with the compliments of Rand,
Mentally & Co., of Chicago, publishers. 1t
is complete indexed county and township
map, and shows by new compilation the
entire railroad system and the express com
panies doing business in the State. 1t also
accurately locates all railroad stations,
towns, villages, county seats, etc, and the
special features Of the map are that it gives
the nearest mailing point of all local places,
designating money order post offices and
giving telegraph stations. There have been
many maps gotten up of this State, but they
are nearly all very inaccurate. This map is
about as near right as any we have seen, and
it will pay travellers, business men and others
to have it. Twenty cents will buy one

How to Keep or Fruit Tree Borers.

A correspondent of the Fruit Recorat7,
gives the follow 'ng remedy for borers: "Ten
years or more ago l tried the use of paper
bands and gas tar in various forms on my
peach trees, and, when carefully applied, it
was effective in excluding borers, but for the
past seven or eight years l have practiced a
much more excellent way, and know other
fruit growers who have done the same, and
would not think of going back to the old
methods. 1t simply using carbonic acid,
which is the essence Of the spirits of tar,
and is easily made to combine with water by
adding soap, while the tar itself will not
combine, and is far less safe and clearly in
its application My rule for preventing
borers is to get pint of crude carbolic acid,
costing Is cents, which is sufficient for TWEEN
ty gallons of the wash. Take tight barrel
put IN four or FIVE gallons of soft soap, with
as much hot water to thin it, then stir in the
pint of carbolic acid, and let it stand over
night, no longer, to combine. Now add
twelve gallons OF rain water and stir well,
then apply to the base of the tree with a short
broom or old paint brush, taking pains to wet
inside of all crevices. This will prevent
both apple and peach borers. 1t should be
applied the latter part of June or July, in
this climate, when the moths and beetles
usually appear. The odor is so pungent and
lasting that no eggs will be deposited
where it has been applied, and the effect
will continue till after the insects have done
flying. If the crude acid cannot be blamed
one. third of the pure Will answer, but it is
more expensive.

1T is about time that something was
done, if it is possible to do anything, to
have our mail delivered on time. For the
past six months or more the mail has been
from one to FIVE hours late almost every day
and yesterday there was no mail at all,
which accounts for the TINES not being out
on time this morning, as we had to wait for
an important advertisement. These delays
are all caused by the hoggishness Of the c..
P. Company which will not put on trains
enough to accommodate the travel and keep
on time. We like pork but the c. P. hogs
suit US too we'll, and the next time such a
thing happens we propose to swear out a

for delaying the mails. We expect to have

it understood that the c. P. folks must not

the United States in 1884 for St. John, open
ed the campaign in the State for the Pro

pecially those whose interference defeated

THEY BIT ON THE THISTLE.

A cable from Paris states that the so-called
American Colony in that city wagered heav-
lily on the Thistle. The statement is with
out doubt true. 1t has always been sup
posed that there was something wrong in
Americans who from choice reside abroad.
Being citizens of country in which the
grandest developments are in progress, they
find greater pleasure in the erotic civilization
of the Old World than in healthful vigor Of
our own. The glitter Of Paris or London So
ciety exercises a kind of fascination over
natural that these self exiles should seek to
show that they have ceased to be Americans
by betting against the American representa-
tive Of an International contest There is
sprinkling of this kind of Americans who
have not yet succeeded in taking up their
residences abroad. They are obliged to live
only place in which they can make living.
But they never omit an opportunity to lei
their associates know that they regard hav
ing been born in America as a misfortune.
As the SO called American Colony in Paris
has, as a rule, more money than anything
they will not feel the loss Of their bets on
he Thistle. But when they take a mental
survey of themselves they must be conscious
If the extreme attenuation of soul which I

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with GREEN'S August
Fyo,cer and Boschee'S German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the rs cent size.
The August Fyouer for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted, in every town and
village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles for 10 cents remain the same
size.

the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy for the speedy and perma-

tested its wonderful curative powers
in thousands of cases, has felt it his
duty to make it known to his suffer

The Senator's Shrewd Wife.

The wife of a certain senator in
Washington, having for many years
past suffered from the knowledge of
her husbands frequent tiirtations, has
within the last season or two adopted
a novel plan, which in every instance
so far has been crowned with sue
cess. AS soon as she becomes aware
of the latest flame about which the
attention of her errent spouse is tiut-
tering, she invites the lady to visit
her. This invitation, of course, the
husband-falling into the trap--warm-
ly seconds. Having accomplished so
much, the Senator's wife now con-
trives upon every occasion, whether
or not it be in compliance with the
mood of her liege lord, to throw him
into the society of the guest. Tickle
and superficial by nature, it takes but
a brief season before he wearies of the
constant companionship thrust upon
him, and his ardor cools in proper
ton as he sees the obstacles in the
way vanishing out of sight.

Rest on Sunday.

A kind hearted Massachusetts edi-
tor writes as follows about cutting the
corners of woman's work: There is
one tendency we want to see receive
strength, that is the doing away with
great dinners on Sunday. Woman,
whether wife or servant, needs rest on
Sunday. But there is not sufficient
thoughtfulness on the subject. Wo-
mans nerves need a let up once q
week. The Sunday dinner should be
prepared largely on Saturday. Many
a good dinner has for its basis cold
meats. Such can be prepared on
Saturday. Oysters are used largely on
the Sabbath, partly because so little
time is needed for their preparation.
We should be glad tohear of the great
Sunday dinners being thing of the
past. Take good care of your wives,
sisters and servants. See that Sunday
means rest to them, Whether the
nervous condition of most women is
traceable to the continuous strain put
upon them, may be hard to decide.
But real, refreshing rest every Sun
day might do much to help them. 1t
would be a welcome change to many
overworked wives and mothers who
find Sunday is the hardest day of the
week.

Eggs in Winter.

Ifyou want eggs in winter you
must have the birds so situated that
their combs will not freeze. The
comb will make an excellent indica-
tor, and what you should do is to pro-
vide not only a warm roosting place
at night, but have some kind of a
sheltered run for them during the
day, where they canscratch and work
without being exposed to the winds.
These preparations should be made
at this season, while the weather per-
mits. And be careful how the birds
drink. They must only be allowed
TO put their beaks in the vessel, or
they will get their wattles wet. Re
member that as long as you can keep
the combs and wattles from freezing
your chances are in favor Of eggs in
winter.

A Sand Bag.

For sick room the sand bag is in
valuable. Get some clean, fine sand
dry it thoroughly in kettle on the
stove. Make a bag about eight inches
square of flannel, fill it with the dry
sand; sew the opening carefully to-
gether and cover the bag with cotton
or linen. This will prevent the sand
from sitting out, and will also enable
you to heat the bag quickly in plac-
ing it in the oven or even on top. of
the stove. After once using this you
will never attempt to warm the feet
or hands of sick person with a bot
tie of hot water or a brick. The sand
holds the heat a long time, and the
bag can be tucked up to the back
without hurting the invalid. 1t is a
good plan to make two or three Of
the bags and keep them on hand,
ready for use at any time when need
ed.

Killing Weeds.

Maryland Farmer,
Some one has said that the tough
est lived weeds if cut down to the
ground in the winter will surely die
before the coming of spring. The
freezing aud the thawing finishes
their vitality. We have not tried
this; but there is some reason to sup
pose it may become a success. Still,
whether it will do 80 or not, we are
utterly opposed to having weeds stand
either in winter or summer. If you
have the opportunity anytime be-
tween now and the opening offspring,
to give the weeds taste of your good
right arm as it swings the instrument
of their torture, make use of that OPP
portunity to the very best advantage.
We believe in warning upon the
weeds at all times, in season and out
of season, and we believe in giving
them no quarter.

The Good Old Times.

Rural New Yorker.
II guess all those farmers who are
grooming so about low prices and high
taxes and who are longing for the
good old times don't remember
much about these same good old
times,'" said a veteran Orange coun-
ty farmer, at Goshen, New York, the
other day. 81 can remember" he
said, "when we were compelled
to haul our butter, grain, pork and
eggs all the way to Newburg, going
one day and returning thenext. We
generally got 10 cents a bushel for
oats and 10 cents pound for butter.
Seventy-five cents bushel for wheat
was fancy price. If we got 6 or s
cents dozen for our eggs we thought
we were doing well. Nice corn-fed
pork, dressed, we carted to market for
81 hundred. The butter we put on
the market was the genuine Orange
county article, yellow as gold and as
hard as a walnut. I've sold tubful
after tubful of butter at 10 cents q
pound that would net me 35 cents
easy, if had 1t, or anything like it
to sell now. That was long before
the Erie railway came through here
and put us up to selling our milk in
stead of making it into butter. We
didn't have any lime-preserved eggs
in those days to sell, either. AS for
taxes, 1 paid $3.50 on my farm of 100
acres when was only getting 10 cents
a pound for my butter. On the same
farm now l pay $3.50, and my dairy
brings ME the year round what is
equal to nearly three times ten cents
a pound for butter. There is a great
humbug, l tell you, in mourning
for the good old times, and 1 know
it,"

A Wonderful SNOWFALL.

One day last winter two Nevada
miners, living on Alum Creek, went
up to IL mountain above their cabin
to set out some stakes. After their
work was done, one of them made a
SNOWFALL and threw it at the other,
who returned the fire. One of the
balls lodged on a slope more shan
mile long directly above their cabin.
The sun was shining brightly and the
snow was soft. For second the ball
rested where it fell, and then it began
to roll, increasing in bulk as it went.
Presently the ball, once held in a
mans hand, grew to the size of a
hogshead, and when furious mo-
mentum had been gained it burt into
several peices, each of which con-
tinued rolling until a strip of ground
one hundred feet wide was cleared of
snow. In their descent these huge
snowballs picked up rock and earth
until, merging into one immense
mass, the avalanche, bearing down
giant trees and stumps, struck the
cabin of the men who started it and
carried it away as easily as if it had
been made Of paper. Everything in
the path of the slide was swept to the
stream and buried fifty feet deep in
snow. The miners watched the
havoc they had wrought, and, after
examining the spot where once their
cabin stood, they started for Haw-
thorne for q tent and blankets.
